According to my speaking agency, I am a leading voice at the vanguard of two massive trends in branding and innovation: brand experience and brand purpose.These two modern tenets of brand-building have led my entire career at the world’s largest and most-awarded creative agencies. And I am on a mission to share the keys to unlocking business growth and social impact together.

COVID-19 IMPACTEDSpirits Investment Partners creates unique and compelling brands in the alcohol beverage vertical. My role was to inspire, provoke, motivate, fight for and approve the best ideas and executions for a growing $200M portfolio of spirits brands. My ambition focused on making Spirits Investment Partners the most talked-about spirits company in the world by 2025. Diving into a vibrant and fast-growing industry full-force, I directed and approved all marketing, communications and brand experience strategy for the portfolio, which includes Heaven’s Door Distillery with Bob Dylan, growing it into the #1 new ultra-premium whiskey. Perhaps more importantly, I directed all purpose-led initiatives for the brand through the creation of The Heaven’s Door Foundation, which helps thousands of people in the hospitality industry get free healthcare and financial assistance. I also led innovation and activation for Stolen, an edgy youthful rum and flavored whisky brand geared for a modern audience using modern media strategies, increasingly growing online sales and DTC activations. I improved my knowledge and analysis of venture funding and start-up dynamics as a key member of the investment and incubation team for new spirits brands from seed financing to Series A and B investments, including launching an ultra-premium whiskey in partnership with Playboy Enterprises in China (which was unsurprisingly put on hold due to the COVID-19 epidemic).

When creative leaders like Alex Bogusky, Rob Reilly, Andrew Keller and Jeff Benjamin ask to lead an experiential practice at an agency like Crispin Porter+ Bogusky, you don't pass up the chance. It's like running with the '96 Bulls. You don't say no, you just hope to work your ass off to earn a place on the squad. And that's what I did. I was fortunate to leading the experiential practice at the Agency of the Decade with some of the best in the business. Working with clients such as: Microsoft, Bolthouse Farms, Coke Zero, Jose Cuervo, BestBuy, Burger King, vitaminwater, Kraft, Dominos, Old Navy and American Express.

Running all creative out of the Chicago office of the world's largest experiential marketing group, I was fortunate to be part of two of the world's most successful brand launches: Unilever's Axe and Wrigley's 5 Gum. Along with these two behemoth brands, I worked on large-scale and award-winning experiential platforms for MillerCoors, BeamSuntory, PepsiCo, Diageo, Orbitz and so many other awesome brands. As a creative lead, I was also a part of Omnicom's Radiate Group of international experiential agencies.

Before the term "experiential marketing" was even coined, we were doing it at Gearwerx. As Canada's first ever experience agency, we pushed the bounds and essentially helped define the practice. And out of it my first book was born: Experience the Message. That was a really fun ride.
